If you're like us and prefer small boutique hotels to the big-names, I can save you a lot of time. The Hotel Garni Edelweiss is perfection on every level (and I peeked into several others while we were there. Location is near downtown,but just a tad out so that there is complete silence at night. The cleanliness--well I don't know how you keep a place so immaculate and stain/scratch free with the use of many guests. The whiteness of our sheets when the morning sun came through our window was whiter than the new ones I buy at home. Breakfast was hearty with the extra touches of chocolate powder for cocoa and bowls of different nuts to sprinkle over your cereal. And if you time it right, you can even have the sauna (yes, there's a sauna!) to yourself. The icing on the cake are the owners Alexandra and her mother. No attitude, just genuinely nice people who were gracious about helping and offering suggestions about lesser known places in the area. Alexandra, a skier herself, could even advise us which mountain got the best sun at what time of the day so we could plan when best to have our Prosecco on a terrace with a view! One tip: if you to want to visit other nearby towns, book through Der Lecher Taxi (43 (0) 5583 2501) which is less expensive than the one...
Read moreWe stayed 4 nights at the s'Edelweiss in February 2012, which is winter high season so we were lucky to find somewhere to host us for less than a full week. We were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the rooms and facilities given the very reasonable rate of 86 Euros pp per night (Lech is quite posh but the skiing is worth it!!). We had a corner Rüfikopf room, which was not very roomy but a good size, and the bathroom was spotless with a roomy shower. The wellness center, which is open from 15:30 to 19:00ish, has a sauna, an infrared cabin, a steam bath, showers, and a quiet relaxation lounge, AND there are very comfy bathrobes supplied in your room! Its the perfect apres ski therapy. Breakfast was quite good, there was yogurt, a few cereals, cereal toppings (nuts & seeds), different types of bread and some meat and cheese, definitely enough to get you started. And to top it all off when the hosts learned that we didn't have a car, they drove us down to the bus stop when we left! It was only about 500m but a very nice end to a perfect stay. We were so sad to leave, can't wait to go back!!||||small note: the B&B is fully ski out, but on the way back, you will need to take off your skis and walk...
Read moreMyself and a group of 10 stayed for a week at the Edelweiss in February 2019. Great location, centrally located to downtown Lech, with easy access to ski facilities, restaurants and shopping. The rooms were comfortable, clean, well appointed, and fairly priced. The rooms on the Northwest side of the building had beautiful views of Lech and the mountains. The spa facilities in the basement were the real hidden gem. Modern, clean, and very relaxing... we loved spending a few hours each day recovering in the spa after a day of skiing. ||||Perhaps most importantly, Alex and her family truly made us feel at home, going above and beyond in every way to make our stay in Lech a good one. From preparing a delicious, healthy breakfast every morning, to helping us arrange dinner reservations or transportation, there wasn't a task too big or small for Alex.||||I'm already thinking about my next ski trip to Lech and without hesitation would recommend the Edelweiss to friends and...
